dear Mrs Chatterjee.
etizola plus contains escitalopram 10 mg and etizolam 0.5 mg. both of them in some individual can cause drowsiness and lethargy.
you can reduce the dose and try if it gives relief in your depression and anxiety if not please discuss it with your psychiatrist to suggest an alternative
